Jenny McCarthy In Talks to Join ‘The View’

Jenny McCarthy has just joined the list of potential new co-hosts on ABC’s beloved daytime talk show, The View. Although she currently hosts her eponymous show on VH1, she is in “serious talks” to become a leading lady on the popular women’s show.

According to a source who confided in Us Magazine, “the cast and crew get a kick out of Jenny” and that “she’s a good fit” who “works well with a group ensemble.” The 40-year-old former Playboy playmate and actress is reportedly “definitely open to it.” This won’t be McCarthy’s first experience with the show; she has guest-hosted frequently in the past.

Along with Jenny McCarthy, Brooke Shields appears on the short list of potential new hosts.
